1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: We report a pediatric case in which a retrolenticular Case Presentation: A ten-year-old girl presented with a white cataract of her right eye during a humanitarian mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fundoscopy was inaccessible. During surgery, an annulated worm-like parasite was found in the retrolenticular space. Further anamnesis was remarkable for regular snake and crocodile meat consumption, and a clinical diagnosis of ocular pentastomiasis was made. The parasite was morphologically and molecularly identified as Conclusion: This case illustrates that a retrolenticular location of the parasite was likely responsible for a white cataract in an otherwise quiet, white eye, highlighting intraocular pentastomiasis as a potentially underdiagnosed cause of vision loss in endemic regions.
